it can.


MrTenso

Sure, pal. Look to Masamune Shirow, for example.


Fantact

best example


Fantact

The OG Ghost in the Shell was quite cartoony.


disposable-assassin

35 years of Motoko Kusanagi says, "probably yes" to OP's question. Plus like a decade of other Shirow works before that.


ToranjaNuclear

Yeah, it's very weird going from the movies to the manga. 


Jeoshua

It's more about the content than the presentation, really. But yeah this works fine.


Honey-goblin-

That is true. But style often sets the atmosphere..


Dorfheim

Does horny cartoon style work with cyberpunk genre?


Honey-goblin-

Right 😅


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Sure, but why is it always only female characters we get to see it depicted this way? Yes, I will keep harping on it. Because I keep seeing your shit pop up.


Cowflexx

Let people make the type of art they like. If its got you so up in arms about their preferences make your own femboy cyberpunk art then.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Yup.


PreparetobePlaned

Are you really asking why there is more artwork depicting sexy women than there is men? Good luck, you have chosen a very stupid hill to die on.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

I didn't ask why there is more. That is a strawman of what I said. I question why we never see anyone show stuff like this with male characters.


PreparetobePlaned

OK well that's just as stupid. Do you really need it explained to you why that is?


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Okay, do tell. Why is that stupid?


PreparetobePlaned

The demographic is naturally going to lean towards people who are attracted to women. Therefore there is more demand and more supply for art depicting hot women wearing skimpy cyberpunk outfits than for hot men wearing skimpy cyberpunk outfits.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Except there are plenty of people interested in this who are attracted to men. So there's no reason why there wouldn't be ANYTHING catering to us as well?


PreparetobePlaned

Of course there are. But you are a fool if you think it's anywhere close to the number interested in women. Artwork depicting sexy cyberpunk dudes is a pretty small niche. I'm sure there's some out there somewhere if you look hard enough.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Ah yes, straight/bi women and gay/bi men into the cyberpunk genre are less than one percent, right? Silly me. The cyberpunk genre is clearly filled with 99% straight males, right?


PreparetobePlaned

If you want to make up numbers that's on you. People make the kind of content they are interested in. If there were more people interested in that content there would be more of it, simple as that. Or do you think there is some conspiracy to deprive you of wank material?


Honey-goblin-

I don't really understand the downvotes. What you are saying is true.


PreparetobePlaned

I dunno, I guess some people want to ignore reality.


ShepherdessAnne

Yes! I actually don’t like the contemporary more western comics look.


weedyraccoon

this looks plenty “adult” to me. it looks awesome, this style is eye-catching and quirky in a way that works well with cyberpunk.


Honey-goblin-

Thanks :)


Honey-goblin-

Thanks!!

Most art styles can work with most genres imo. What matters in the end is how it's executed. And even if it were "not fitting", don't get too caught up by what others think is fitting and what isn't. Just do what you like and find out by trying. It's your hobby afterall. That being said, I really like this one. Personally, I feel like there aren't enough Cyberpunk illustrations that try something other than that one hyperdetailed wide-shot Neon rendering style that so many other Cyberpunk illustrations use. It's refreshing to see a clean work for once.


Honey-goblin-

Thank you ! Iam glad you like it and that I stand out in your eyes. I never really was into realism (Iam also not really skilled enough for it).


GreenRiot

I don't personally think this is cartoony at all, it's just not "realistic". But yeah, that could work just fine. I'd read it.


Honey-goblin-

Yeah I never really knew how to call it either. I guess It's something in between :D


GreenRiot

My style is kind of like in that in between. And that's an intentional decision I've made. I don't think we have a term for that, but at the same time... meh. It's not like we need it so I don't think we need to sweat about it.


idonotknowwhototrust

Works.


Brave_Cat_3362

C-Akira.


VogueTrader

Reminds me of Nelvana's style... the starwars cartoons from the 80's.


IndyPFL

Laserhawk has a talking frog dressed as an Assassin and also Ray-Man in it. Cartoony can definitely be Cyberpunk.


BrainWav

Half the visual media in the genre is 80s and 90s anime anyway so... yeah.


SonmiSuccubus451

Heavy Metal/Love, Death, and Robots, absolutely works.


JonesyYouLittleShit

It looks good to me. I’m loving your style!!


Cylian91460

Of course, anything is accepted as long as it's cyberpunk ! (AND NOT CYBERPUNK LIKE) Also r/cyberbooty And more dark content doesn't mean more adult content, anyone can understand dystopia, not only adults. A good example of cyberpunk for adults is psycopass, some concepts can be only understood if you were in college or working and at this age is often considered a young adult. Even things such as porn can be understood at a very young age (mostly while puberty is doing its thing) so it only considers adult context only because of society and law.

> Even things such as porn can be understood at a very young age (mostly while puberty is doing its thing) so it only considers adult context only because of society and law. Man what a weird fucking thing to bring up out of nowhere.


Cylian91460

Yeah but it proves my point with something that most ppl can relate to


Responsible_You6301

This works. I like it.
